INT. INTERVIEW ROOM

GUADALUPE ANGEL MIGUEL GONZALEZ (Sad & slowly)

I need to use the washroom.
SUBTITLE: After my parents were taken by immigration
services I was forced to live alone. From the young
age of 14 till now, I had to cook and clean for
myself. Make money for myself. Be responsible for
myself. I have known poverty, and I have known fear,
but nothing has compared to the fear I felt running
away from that thing. Through all my years of my
hard life, nothing compares…

begins down Culford. The rest of the group finds refuge within
a house]
